When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times

Sometimes the best way to deal with tough feelings and situations is to become more involved with them rather than distancing yourself from them. Pema Chödrön, critically-acclaimed author of The Places That Scare You and Living Beautifully, writes from her perspect as a Buddhist nun on the importance and benefits of movings towards pain. Paradoxically, embracing our hurts and aches is the best form of healing; and it's the way we can slowly, mindfully, and imperfectly shift into a life of more joy, fulfillment, and wellness. This book is a classic of its genre and it truly does contain wise advice, even if it's often not the advice we want to hear.
